Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me answer that by saying that this government is certainly not advocating a strike. We did move forward in trying to negotiate in a reasonable and fair way with our colleagues in the UNW. We came to a standstill and both parties agreed to send the agreement out. It's my understanding that the union will be recommending to vote no. I think it's unfortunate. However, Mr. Speaker, we are developing a plan and will be ready for a strike, should it occur. But it's certainly not the position of this government to advocate that at any time. Thank you.
